Jammie Booker, winner of the 2025 World's Strongest Woman competition, has been disqualified and stripped of her title after it was discovered that she was born male. According to the British media Daily Mail, the revelation came after explicit photos and videos began circulating among the competitors, apparently showing that Booker was a former transgender porn star. The organization of the Official Strongman Games issued a statement confirming the violation. In their statement, they emphasized that "competitors can only compete in the category corresponding to the biological sex registered at birth," and that "they allow any athlete to compete, but only in the category corresponding to their biological sex." They added that if they had known Booker's biological identity, "she would not have been allowed to compete in the Open Female category." Following Booker's disqualification, 43-year-old Andrea Thompson becomes the new world's strongest woman. Thompson explained that she and the other competitors suspected nothing until Monday morning, when images and videos that sparked the scandal began to circulate. This case has sparked an international debate about the participation of transgender women in female sports categories. The organization reminded that its regulations are strict regarding participation according to biological sex.
